For the 29th consecutive year, Delta Bingo and Gaming Sudbury are spreading holiday cheer by helping local organizations provide Christmas turkeys and holiday meals to families across Greater Sudbury
Delta Bingo and Gaming Sudbury is once again stepping up to continue a happy holiday tradition by giving to families in need in Sudbury.
For the 29th consecutive year, Delta Bingo and Gaming Sudbury and its Charitable Gaming partners – Sudbury Charities Foundation and ACT/UCT Sudbury – are spreading holiday cheer by helping local organizations provide Christmas turkeys and holiday meals to families across Greater Sudbury, said a company news release.
Since 1996, this well known community initiative, founded by Ray Loiselle, has helped thousands of families share a warm holiday meal together, said the release. To date, the program has contributed an estimated $425,000 to The Salvation Army to continue to support local families in need.
The success is thanks to many local partnerships, said the release. The continued partnership of organizations such as Club Richelieu de Sudbury, Ten Rainbows Children’s Foundation, and the Minnow Lake Lions Club ensures the initiative reaches approximately 1,200 families each Christmas.
Christina Nupponen, Charity Association Coordinator, said the effort is more than giving free food.
“This event has always been about more than providing a turkey; it’s about bringing hope and
comfort to our community,” said Nupponen.
“Each year, I’m inspired by the generosity of our local charities and the difference this partnership makes in the lives of so many families. The continued support and compassion shown by our community truly captures the spirit of the holiday season,” she added.
This year, the tradition grew even stronger, said the release. In addition to supporting the Christmas turkey campaign, ACT-UCT donated a total of $50,000 to local community groups such as Inner City Home, Better Beginnings Better Futures, Go-Give Project, Our Children Our Future, Camp Quality, House of Kin, and Maison McCulloch Hospice, allowing even more local families and individuals to experience the spirit of the season. said Delta.
Funds raised through Delta Bingo and Gaming Sudbury’s Charitable Gaming partners continue to empower our charitable groups to make a difference in the lives of thousands in our community.
Partnered donations like these make long-standing programs possible, reflecting the lasting impact of Charitable Gaming in building stronger, more connected communities, said the release.
Delta Bingo and Gaming Sudbury is an innovator in the charitable gaming industry, offering both paper and electronic bingo as well as Vegas-style gaming machines. Delta Bingo Sudbury has been proudly serving the community since 1984, helping to raise over $55 million for local charities, said the release.
